Hammond, Wis.

Correspondence of The Irish Standard.
This pleasantly situated and beautiful
village, located on the main line Of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis 4 Oma-
ha Railroad, in the center Of the fertile
and rich valley of the St. Croix, pre-
sents noticeable increasing activity in
all branches of trade and business pur-
suits. The general yield of grain, as
shown by the threshing done SO far, is
much better in quantity and quality
than was anticipated, and the dropping
spirits of the Industrious farmers are
correspondingly elated. This makes
our merchants, druggists, blacksmiths,
shoemakers, doctors, lawyers, ministers
and all good natured aid tolerably hap
py. Our village takes just pride in the
high character Of her business men and
in the general good order and deport-
ment of all her public affairs.
Hammond has first class graded
school cf three departments, with a con-
stantly increasing roll of scholars. The
principal religious denominations are
represented, and have fine churches and
pastoral residences. Rev. Father VIM.
White, the highly esteemed and able
pastor of the Catholic Church, has just
returned from a two months vacation
with friends, passed enjoying the fresh
air, the beautiful and grand scenery Of
the west in Colorado, Utah and Califor-
MIA, not emitting to give his many
adn,iring friends at home some inimita-
BILE pen pictures of the customs and hab-
its of the "Utah Saints.
In the general merchandise business,
the old reliable dealers, among the
many others, may be found John Nc
Govern, D. Dineen and P. O'Donnell,
always on hand with the best in the
mar et at low prices-typical Irish
Americans with many admiring custom
ers anxious to manifest their esteem for
square dealing by passing in the dol
lars. The professions are all represent
ed by able and experienced practition-
ers. In medicine, Drs. E. L. Boothby
and w. s. Fullerton are two worthy
representatives, painstaking and atten-
tive, with hosts Of patrons. The village
at present has but one attorney, John
Mcmahon, Esq, an able and honored
lawyer wherever you find him; young,
energetic and capable; unassuming in
manner, cool and collected in trial, he
has been seen and tried in many hard
fought contest, and rarely, if ever,
known to lose; an able champion and
advocate of equal rights, the cause of
down-trodden Ireland finds in him a
heart that beats responsive to her noble
aspirations and deeply deplores her
cruel wrongs.
Our mention would be incomplete
did I omit to add the name Of Frank T..
Herman. Esq, d law student in the coffee
of the attorney named. A worthy de-
scendent of a noble sire, honored and
widely known as one of the foremost in
the front ranks of able advocates of the
rights-now usurped and denied-to his
native land, the son inherits his genius
and gifts Of oratory and gives promise
of deserved success. Among the asso-
Citations here is prosperous and grow
ing branch of the Catholic Knights Of
Wisconsin. ST. CRoIx.

solid ground for the deep and wide

Judge G. L. Beatty and ". G. S.

for Pueblo to examine tho coal
fields. They were accompanied
by Captain Harvey and the editor
Of the Sentinel. DR.. Westfall and
Capt. Penn examined sample of
coal in the Sentinel office and pro-
nounced it first rate.
We went over to Waldrip and
Pueblo last week. We inspected
the shaft being sunk By DR.. Viii
hanson and come to the conclu-
sion that he, at least. had strong
faith in finding abundance of good
coal from the amount Of money he
| is expanding. The shaft has been
sunk depth of So feet and has
been walled up from top to bottom
with heavy timbers at a considera-
bic cost. We will watch with con-
siderable interest the progress of
work on this shaft. We also visi-
ted the Risley mine and went down
into it to see for ourself the guam
tity and quality of the coal. The
working Shalt Is about 80 rect IN
depth and the tunnel is about 30
feet, Mr.. Richards, an experienced
practical miner is at work in this
mine and he informs us that the
coal now being taken out is of su-
perior quality and the supply in
exhaustible. He thinks that at a
depth of 90 or % feet below the
vein that is being worked now that
thicker and better vein will be
| found. We do not claim to be a
Judge of coal but it seems to our
inexperienced eye that the coal now
being taken out of this mine is
good enough for any use and GER
tainly there can be no question as
to the supply.

Another Great Man Gone.

Henry Ward Beeeher was the
son of Lyman Beecher, Presby-
terrain clergyman. He was born
in Litchfeld, June a, 1913, and
during his childhood and youth
he attended several schools, and
finally graduated at Amherst col
lege. He studied at Lane semina-
ry near Cincinnati, o., and settled
there as Presbyterian minister IN
1897, where he married a daughter
Of DR.. ARENAS Billiard; he remoy-
ed to indianapolis in 1889, where
he filled pulpit until 1S47, when
he received call to the world re-
nowned Plymouth church u
Brooklyn. Here it was he built up
a large congregation and reputa-
ton as a pulpit orator. He adop-
ted many novel ideas and incorpo-
rated them into the management
of his church. He discarded so
many of the conventionalities Of
the church that he almost got the
name of an eccentric gentleman,
until his continuation in these new
ideas showed that he was earnestly
working to carry ont a sys-
TEN which he deemed to be proper.
for the management of his flock.
He did not hesitate to preach on
secular subjects, and even politics,
from his pulpit. His ideas on fu-
ture punishment and other church
doctrine caused the withdrawal of
his congregation from the associa-
ton of Congregational churches.
His reputation as lecturer is sec
ond to none in the world. He was
an earnest abolitionist, and went
to Europe in 1863, where he lee
tured on the evils of slavery. In
the summer of 1874 occurred the
notorious Beecher-Tilton scandal,
out of which grew that famous civ
il suit against Mr.. Beecher. In
1884, Mr.. Beecher, although a re-
publican, earnestly supported
Cleveland against Blaine, and es-
tranged many of his congregation,
and he has always been known as a
great civil service reformer.
In 1886 he made lecturing tour
to England, his first since the war.

of his intellectual endowments.
He edited many religious papers
during his life, the most import
of which was the Christian Union.
His lectures and sermons have
been reproduced in nearly all of
the countries of the world that
profess literary culture. The pub
licaton of his sermons supplies
ably aritten discourses ON bible
subjects for the millions and they
have gotten to be one of the nee
